Back in the apartment, she threw her jacket on the couch and began pacing around in front of the big window. Her heart felt like it might explode in her chest. Anxiety and confusion assaulted her from every side. She couldn’t get a handle on what she felt or what she wanted. She didn’t even know who she was anymore.

She played her life back inside her head, thinking about all the choices she’d made that had brought her to this very moment. She wanted to be a stockbroker. She wanted to feel the rush of playing with the market. It had been her dream, since she was a girl, to be able to manage around large sums of money. She’d been so poor growing up with her grandma. She wanted to turn her sharp mind to the problem of money.

Now that she was embroiled with Mylash, she didn’t know what her hopes and dreams really even meant anymore. She’d have a million dollars by tomorrow, maybe even in a couple hours if he wanted to make love to her. To have so much handed to her in exchange for sex almost felt like cheating.

Aside from all that, Mylash was an alien. Not just some ordinary billionaire offering her all her dreams. He wanted to take her back to his home planet to be among his people. She just couldn’t imagine it. What would it be like to never see Earth again? Could she handle that? Was Mylash enough?

“What is it, my little mate?” he said, stopping her from pacing. He put his big hand on her shoulder and caught her chin with his other hand. He forced her to look up into his face. His worried expression made a tear form in the corner of her eye. She didn’t want to disappoint him, but her head felt like it was about to explode. Her heart felt like it might burst from the pressure building there.

“Mylash. I don’t know what to do. Maybe I should leave. Forget about the money. I don’t think I can go to Draconia. I can’t leave my family.”

“It’s all right, little mate. We don’t have to worry about this for quite some time. The armada will be here for another ten Earth years.”

“What about you?”

“I’m scheduled to be here until human society is stabilized and thriving.”

“That could be like, a lifetime.” She laughed and a tear let loose from her eye and slid down her cheek.”

“Indeed.” He hugged her to him. His hard chest was warm and smelled of his sweet scent. She wrapped her arms around him and inhaled. She felt him harden against her stomach. His hand roved down her body and gripped her behind, inching the hem of her dress up over her panties.

His fingers slid around the back of her thigh and between her legs. He continued to rub in and out, reminding her of what he’d done with his cock earlier that day.

“I need to be inside you,” he growled, abruptly lifting her off the floor. Her shoes toppled to the ground. He wrapped her legs around his waist and carried her to the bedroom. She lay over the bed, her knees shaking. He turned her over on her stomach and unzipped her dress before peeling it off her body. He unhooked her bra and slid off her panties.

His hands found her ass and he began to knead the globes between caresses of her damp pussy between her legs. He gripped her hips and pulled her up on her knees. Three fingers found her opening and began to thrust inside as his other hand flicked her bud.

“Mylash,” she groaned, already feeling her orgasm ready to ignite.

He pulled his fingers away and slapped her ass, making her body vibrate.

“Like this, from behind?” she gasped as he pressed his cock to her opening.

“Yesss,” he growled. His voice was almost unrecognizable.

Loretta groaned and gripped the bedspread, leaning down on her elbows as her legs shook.

The thick head of his cock pushed through her folds and pressed against her tight entrance. She shoved her face in the blanket and bit the fabric. Pleasure and pain coursed through her as Mylash split her open. His massive width spread her wide as it inched inside her. Her body opened around him, sucking him deeper and wider than her mind could comprehend. The utter fullness of his cock inside her made her mind go blank.

He held her hips tight, his pelvis hit her ass with a slap. Loretta groaned. The pleasure button inside her was on full alert. She didn’t know if she was coming or going. Her body whirled with unknowable lust. Mylash pulled back and thrust forward again. That’s when she came undone. With each thrust of his hips, her orgasm spread out further, cresting and diving in waves of absolute abandon.

He ran his hand over her clit as he fucked her hard from behind. She could feel the need in him, the driving force to take her like this. To know he could be inside her at least this one time. He dropped forward and held the back of her neck. His hips pumped her hard into the bed.

She was a mindless flesh, built for pleasure and need. Mylash roared over her, his cock expanding even more, impossibly thick within her. His hot semen pumped deep in her womb, exciting yet another pleasure sensation at the depths of her core. He leaned back, holding her hips steady before he pulled away.

He gathered her in his arms and pulled a blanket over her fragile form. Her mind still orbited somewhere in outer space while her body twitched and throbbed from Mylash’s love.

“Holy shit,” she gasped. She lay her head on his chest and felt his semen slipping down her thigh. She was in such a daze that she didn’t even care that he’d just come inside her. Nothing seemed to matter anymore. Nothing made sense.

She held him as she listened to his heartbeat under her ear and the heat of his body radiated against her skin. She didn’t know when she fell asleep, but the next thing she remembered was waking up under the blanket with Mylash nowhere in sight.

It was getting dark outside and she could hear the faint sound of the television in the living room. She put on a robe and walked through the big doors. Mylash sat at the couch, watching basketball again. She slid into the chair beside him and snuggled against his chest. His arm wrapped around her and she let out a long breath. Her body was sore from the sex, but the soreness had a kind of pleasure that made her want even more.

She tucked her feet under her and watched the TV screen, not thinking about anything. All of a sudden, the screen went to digital fuzz and a second later, there was a man in a mask on the TV. She recognized the masks from when she’d been taken hostage. It was the Human Liberation Coalition. Mylash growled and swore in Draconian.

“We, the people of the Human Liberation Coalition, demand all Draconians leave Earth immediately. We demand that all traces of Draconian technology be wiped from the face of the Earth. All females who have mated with Draconians will be executed. All young born of such unions will be executed. The Draconians are a scourge on our race. They have interfered long enough. We demand they leave this planet and never return. Anyone who does not stand with us is in league with the enemy. We will deploy bombs on cities and towns who do not declare their allegiance to the ideals of a Draconian-free Earth. Humans of Earth. It is time for your liberation. Join us or die. You have been warned.”

The video feed blipped out and basketball came back on the screen. Mylash swore again. “What just happened?” Loretta asked. It just wouldn’t end. She put her hand to her brow and gripped the lapels of her robe together at her throat.

“The bastard terrorists are releasing their manifesto,” Mylash growled, looking at streaming data playing over the inside of the wrist of his uniform. A man appeared after that and began talking. Mylash quickly stood up. “Yes, sir. I saw the feed.”

“Why is this still a problem, General Shin?”

“I am distracted, Commander. But I have been making progress. I will deal with this matter immediately. Soon, my mission here will again have my undivided attention.”

“We all understand the trials of the mating impulse, General, but let’s not allow the race of our women to implode while you seek to spill your seed.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll be in for debriefing within the hour.”

He ran his finger over his wrist and turned back to her. “Loretta. I’m sorry. I have to go. I will return soon.”

He pulled a credit card from somewhere within his suit and handed it to her. “This card is for an account in your name. It has the million dollars already in it. Do what you please with it. When I return to this apartment, I hope to find you here.”

“Mylash, I…”

He swept in and kissed her mouth passionately, lifting her up off the ground. “I’ll see you when I return, beloved little mate. Then I will claim you as my own. The dragon within will no longer harass me. We will make beautiful babies together and have a full and happy life.”

He turned away and strode out the door, leaving Loretta standing alone in the room, holding a million dollars in her palm.
